MACHNERY-BELT FASTENER.

Application led July 23,

To @ZZ l:f/2,0m t may concern:

Be it known that We lesse '.lArP and. WILTJAM EDWARD Srronr KNIGHT, bothsubjects of King; George V ot Greet Britain..

l residing at t() 'Dowling Street, Dunedin @tngoj in the loininion oithlew Zealand, hare invented certain new and useful ling'iroveinents inMachinery-Beit Fasteners, ot which the following is a specilf :ationThis invention relates to belt clips n'iade tor the purpose of joining abelt to become endless.. used Connnonly tor driving' shattingg; and formachinery.

The object er the invention is t, provide a, belt clip that has :ill thenecessary grip required to maintain the degree et dr' *inetightness, undat the same time to be readilyv adjustable and detachable.

Referring` to the drawings aeconipanying the specification,

Figure l is a view illustrating the belt clip.

Figure 2 illustrates the clip applied to a belt.

There is rnetiil traine l, the Width et which would be suitable for theWidth ot belt 2, the ends 2A and 2B ot Which. are coupled by the metalbelt clip to forni an endless belt for driving purposes; the diniensionset the belt clip vary aeoordinly :is the Width of the belt varies; estor example, the clip in use on a three inch belt,

the inside measurement ot the frame l would require to be not less thanthree inches, and just sufliciently more to allow the belt 2 to passbetween the side ineinbers 1^ and 1B of the frame L the said trameconsisting of side ineinbers lA and 1B, and end members 1C and 1D. Thereare i923. Serial lo. 653,315.

tw lateral i lA of the sai waste the end members 1f' siidable therein. Y

,lts application to a belt is simple, 'inasmuch as the ends 2^ and 2Bare inserted up through the metal trarne l between the lateral bars and4. from one side et the trame, then over the said lateral bars 3 and 4lreturning through the traine troni its other sideAq reposins' under thesides 1^ and l, the belt becoming` thereby taste-ned and made endles.When strain is upon the belt; the lateral bars slide along the ends l:ind 1D of the traine l to torce engagement of thel belt 2r with thesido inein- 5 bers 1^ and 1B; it is ol' rions the greater the strain thetighter the grip.

What we claim as new :ind desire to sr cure by Letters Patent is 1. nbelt fastener, con'iprising a rectzinguiar trarne positioned in a singleplane, and two members each slidably connected to two sides of thetrarne, garallel to the two other sides ot the trarne7 and positioned inthe plane ot the freine.

2. Al fastener accordingr to elaine l, said traine being integral andbars 3 and e-, the ends 3A and 4U d bars being' fashioned to ennnd inand be continuons, said niernbers each having` an eyelet in each endslidably connectingY it to the freine and being;` integral andcontinuous.

ln testimony.' whereof we adir; om' sip;-
